The 38-year-old English actor told the host, “Oh, I should tell you what I gave um, you know, it was Radcliffe's opening uh night last night for his play, Every Brilliant Thing, which was which is really really fun to watch.”

He went on to ask Horowitz, “It's customary to send flowers, right?” and he replied, “I believe.”

“Yes, I believe so,” Felton urged, admitting that he was aware of the fact that Redcliff “would not enjoy flowers. And as Brits, we like to take the piss.”

Referring to John Skelley, who is playing adult Harry Potter in the Broadway production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the Altered star revealed, “So, it was John Skelley, our Harry Potter's um idea to send Daniel a wand of his own wand.”

“He thought it was a good idea as a gift. I knew that that Daniel's not gonna he he he'll know that I'm taking the piss here,” he noted.

Felton decided to text Redcliff that read, “Dear dude, um break legs tonight. If all else fails, whip this out. Love, Draco.”

“I haven't heard back from him yet, but I'm hoping that he had a rise smile,” he quipped.

“I'm sure he did. I'm sure he did,” Horowitz assured him.

As the conversation went ahead, the host said, “You know, he is a part of the reason you're you're here on Broadway.”

“That's fair to say. Yes. Absolutely. Yes,” Felton agreed, explaining, “I've seen Daniel in every well most if not all of his productions and Robert's and I've been a theater fan my whole life.”

“My mom my mom took me to the theater uh from a very early age really and uh I've always appreciated the medium more than like any other,” he noted.

It is pertinent to mention that Tom Felton, who made his Broadway debut in November 2025, is currently playing his Harry Potter character Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway.
